Mine is a paint shaker at idle, then exceptionally smooth once moving. At lights I just put in in neutral (which is always easy to find) and take my hands off it. Otherwise the shaking is annoying. I put my hands on the tank and people sometimes give me funny looks.
But it is really quite smooth once moving, silky smooth. I don't get the bucking thing. I only ride in Veloce mode and I never have a problem. Other than the weight it's really easy around town, since the clutch effort isn't too bad, the torque just pulls you along and it's fairly nimble steering. My Eldorado has smaller wheels and tires so it's perhaps more nimble than the other C14 models.
I second the advice to ride another one. Seriously, this is a bike you can just get on and get used to fast. I've ridden quite a few Harleys over the years and found the MG to be even easier to get used to, more like one of the metric cruisers in that respect.
